    Former radio station owner Greg Walden has been elected Chairman of The House Energy and Commerce Committee. Walden, who owned radio stations in Oregon at one time, has been a great friend to radio in Washington. He said he was deeply honored to earn the support of his colleagues…

    “Americans are looking for big improvements out of Washington, and that’s just what we’re going to give them as we work with the Trump Administration, the Senate, and the governors, to move forward on the Better Way agenda. Our work will focus on what’s best for consumers, on creating better paying jobs and providing patient-centered health care.” Walden owned radio stations in Oregon and has chaired the panel’s technology and telecom subcommittee.

    The NAB released the following statement after the Walden news was released. “NAB congratulates Greg Walden on his selection to be the next chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Rep. Walden’s career has been marked by accomplishment and integrity. We look forward to working with him and other members of Congress and the Committee in the new Congress.”
